More details from Robe (http://www.robe.cz):
DURBAN, South Africa – Robe ROBIN moving lights including the new LEDBeam 100s and 600 Washes, Spots and Beams were used by technical services provider Hirezone Audio Visual for the Durban leg of the ‘Super M Live’ event, headlined by South Africa’s favorite rockers, The Parlotones.
The event – an experiential to promote Clover’s Super M milk drink – was staged at Durban’s Wavehouse, with Hirezone’s Richard Gild as the project manager.
For the lighting rig, the company worked to the specification of Parlotones’ LD Travis Yeatman, and also provided the most appropriate fixtures for the low-ceilinged venue.
Lights were hung above the stage on a ground support system – optimized to gain every last inch of headroom – and also on the deck.
The Robe fixtures included six ROBIN 600E Spots and six 600E Washes on the back bar, with another six ROBIN 600E Washes on the mid-stage bar. On the floor were two 600E Spots, six ROBIN 600E Beams and six ROBIN LEDBeam 100s.
There was also a selection of generic lighting fixtures and strobes, all of Yeatman controlled with an Avolites Tiger Touch console.
Hirezone is based in Durban and primarily services shows and events in the KwaZulu Natal area. The business is run by Richard Gild and Garth Lawler and has been operating for 17 years.
More recently Hirezone AV has started investing in Robe moving lights, which have been delivered by Robe’s SA distributor, DWR.
Gild says, “They (Robe) seem innovative and offer products ideal for our size and style of business. The service and backup from DWR is exceptional.”
